[Salon] Doughnut Economics with Kate Raworth

KATE RAWORTH
DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS

Evening Salon / Tues 4 Dec / 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Forget growth, think survival. The doughnut is a breakthrough alternative to growth economics, and the new economic model for the 21st century that could help end inequality. Its mastermind is economist Kate Raworth, one of today’s top thinkers on economic transformation. She has created a compass for a just and safe future without dismissing important social and ecological planetary challenges. The doughnut is a playfully serious approach to framing those challenges, and it acts as a compass for human progress this century. Hear from Kate Raworth how we can meet the needs of all within the means of the planet on which we fundamentally depend.
